Lineman storm work!

You talked about following the safest procedures when you're on another company's territory, how do you know what all of their procedures are? I assume you have a briefing before you start work but they can't possibly go over every procedure in their playbook can they? I'm guessing they pair you with a local crew who run the work and make sure you know what you need if you run into something you aren't sure of?

I think the public needs to give more recognition and respect to linemen. Something I've noticed my short time so far as a firefighter is how much work different agencies do on some of our incidents, but people will only thank the firefighters after. Tons of respect for you guys.

I have heard of ice storms and even experienced four days without power last spring during a similar storm. The amount of ice buildup that you showed in this video is pretty wild. Also, it is interesting how dependant we have become on electricity. After four days with no heat the house was getting to 5C and we were getting into "OK, this is not fun anymore and we're ready to pull up stakes and find a hotel or go to a family member's home." Thankfully it was restored before we even started packing. Thank you to all of the lineman who work out in these conditions to get power restored. We don't all say it but we all appreciate what you do!

You're my new hero buddy, enjoyed watching. Retired Lead Lineman, WV

Sir, you never fail to impress with your professionalism and ability to convey your knowledge. Thank you as always!

As a resident of Alabama where mullets are very common I like it.

I’m so glad I don’t have to do ice storms anymore! We get some snow in Denver that takes some tree down but nothing like a Kansas or Oklahoma ice storm.

Hey Everyone! A big part of being a Lineman is helping out our neighbors around the world when things get messy! In fact some lineman spend their entire career chasing storms! 🌩️🌬️🥶 Have a great week all! 👊🥂

Thanks for coming to Cape Breton to help with the storm. I’m retried from Nova Scotia Power and live in Cape Breton. I worked as an electrician in the generating stations. Point Aconi and Lingan GS. I’ve always had so much interest and respect for your line of work. Your videos really fulfill that interest so please keep them coming.

Been through quite a few ice storms myself as a lineman/servicer. Don’t miss it much

Nice job, looks cold! Greetings from the beginning of spring in Austria👊👊

Thank you for keeping the lights on.

Better you than me buddy! I'm just over here, clear, sunny, blue skies doing bell changeouts on highline. Stay safe and see you on the ROW!

Just a regular dude who enjoys the convinces of modern consumer electronics. Thanks for keeping the lights on. Climbing those icy poles is some gnarly work. Be safe out there. Subscribed.

Oh I remember those kinda days. As a former storm team member I have had the joy of snow and ice storms many times from North Carolina to Oklahoma and parts in between.

Boy oh boy did that video bring back some memories of working storm restoration. What a great feeling it is to help out the people who are devastated by ice storms and hurricanes. It gives a person a sense of pride to restore power to the ones who are suffering, the gratitude by those effected are priceless and you will remember these days when you retire like I am. Last thought i can remember the day i was one of those people who did not have power after a hurricane and i watched lineman working to restore power to us and thought now that is something i would like to do and I did, and it was the best decision i ever made , all lineman are brothers. Thanks for sharing this video it put a smile on my face !!!!

They are horrible on infrastructure, but ice storms make for epic views, especially if the sun comes out!

Shit, i never would have guessed people who want to watch what we do, good on ya hopefully it brings in more green horns to fill the shoes. For anyone reading this thinking of getting into the trade, it's hard work but highly rewarding both mentally & financially.

As someone that was on the tree side of storm restoration for 10 years. I hope you always tree your tree crews that well. It was a rare day for me that the linecrews were willing to drop the phases out of the way for me. Looks like it was a decently fun and safe trip for you guys. Be safe and maybe Ill see you on the next one.

Haha lol the mullet.good job guys.
